Withdrawal
U.S., Israel Sign Five-Year Agreement

year agreement here providing for the exchange of information on social services and human development. It covers the
adoption of children with special needs, services for the functionally impaired, housing for the elderly, in-home day care
for children and the prevention of juvenile delinquency. The
signatories were Israel's Minister of Labor and Welfare,
Aharon Uzan and the U.S. Assistant Secretary of Health,
Dorcas Hardy.
WASHINGTON (JTA) -
The Reagan Administration
believes that the Syrians
want to negotiate a withdrawal of their troops from
Lebanon but on their terms.
The Jewish Telegraphic
Agency has learned that this
is the feeling of the Administration despite the lack of
progress made during special Mideast representative
Donald Rumsfeld's three-
and-a-half hour talk in
Damascus with Syrian President Hafez Assad. Rumsfeld
reportedly .told the Israelis
later that chances for an

agreement had"decreased."
Assad has made it clear
that* he wants Lebanon to
abrogate its May 17 agreement with Israel and for Israeli troops to pull out of
Lebanon before he will consider the withdrawal of Syrian troops from that country.
At his meeting with Rumsfeld, he reportedly added the
condition that the United
States withdraw its troops
too.
The Administration be-
lives that a major concern of
Syria with the May 17 agreement is that it will make Israel the protector of Lebanon. Syria sees itself as the
protector of Lebanon.
Syria Does Not Want To
Absorb Lebanon
The U.S. does not believe
that Syria wants to absorb
Lebanon, something that is
believed in Israel. Instead,
the Administration noted
that when Lebanon and
Syria were removed from
the control of the French in
1946 the Syrians agreed that
they were two countries but
one people. At the .same
time, the Syrians maintained that they will not let
Lebanon be used as a base or
corridor for an attack "on
Syria.
The U.S. had accepted that
Syria has long played an influential role in Lebanon. It
is believed here that Syria
wants stability in Lebanon
and that is one of the reasons
its army first went into the
country in 1976 at the request
of the then Lebanese government.
But the Administration i;

being negotiated between
the various factions in Leba-

tion in Lebanon and thus stability. Syria is believed behind the groups opposing
that agreement.
However, Syria also opposes the May 17 agreement
as part of what it sees its role
as the leader of the Arab/
world. They want to derail
Egypt's peace treaty with Israel and the Camp David
process. They believe that
